odd, if I use Apache Bench to launch 10 requests to my drone over 2 connections I often get errors. Ditto with www.nodejitsu.com. (don't worry, I'll never hit somebody else's page with more than 10 requests very infrequently)

coderarity, thanks so much for your support today. I'm really pleased with nodejitsu (discover it today). The pricing is perfect for someone like me ( small dev projects ). If anyone ever asks me about nodejs hosting I will definitely point them this way.
